Pictures 7-13 of my 365 day project. I’ll be honest, on a few of these days I was sick sick sick, so the girls helped out with the photo taking. I do adore my little princesses.
WEEK 2, YEAR 1
Sunday was our annual dance recital. Ravynn and Whisper both performed, as did Alek. The picture we chose to represent recital was an impromptu surprise performance that Alek did at the end of one of the younger classes jazz routines. They were dancing to a song from the Grease soundtrack. Here he is as Danny Zucco.

While I WANT to be a master gardener, I’m not. My parents had incredibly green thumbs, but mine are black. The joke is that if you want to kill a plant, hand it to me; however, last fall one of our neighbors gave us 5 pots of raspberry bushes. We dug up a row of earth behind our shed and planted 15 raspberry plants. I understand we shouldn’t expect fruit for several years, but you can see green berries – they’re trying.

One of our neighbors is a great garderer – or at least he hires people who are. I snapped this picture while waiting at the bus stop with the girls. I don’t know what these flowers are, but I wouldn’t mind having some.

Whisper wasn’t really doing homework waiting for the bus, I promise, but she’s a writer. She’s started working on a short project and wanted the moment documented.

Whisper took this picture on day 1 of me not feeling so great. She saw the roses from across the street at the bus stop and thought they were beautiful.

Fever of 104.9. I saw nothing but my feet sticking out from under the covers on the sofa.

I relied on Ravynn to take this photo for me. Again at the bus stop.

I had such a hard time writing that last post that I’ve gotten incredibly behind the schedule that I made to keep myself on track. Here is a valiant attempt to get back on track.
I’ve made a goal to complete the 365 project. Basically the goal is to take one photograph each day for 365 days. I’m having fun so far, but worry, as always, that my life is boring and that no one will care. I started on a Sunday and am supposed to [ahem] post weekly on Sunday, so I present to you photos 1-6 of 365.
WEEK 1 YEAR 1
On Sunday – Mother’s Day Sunday, the final performance of Highland Junior High School’s “Willy Wonka Jr” ran. Alek was the Candy Man. He was a true highlight of the show. His love for performing and his absolutely capturing stage presense really created a remarkable and memorable character.
1/365 – Alek is the Candy Man
Ravynn worked really hard on her “Making a Mummy” interest fair project for Northside Middle School. This is a little peek at the mummies on day 40 – just before they were unearthed to create her display.
One of my favorite co-workers always comments that she would starve in my house because she “doesn’t eat weird food”. I thought of her when I snapped this picture. Purple cauliflower, yellow carrots, and plain old boring broccoli 🙂
When Ravynn completed her Mummy project, she was incredibly proud and felt very special that her dad let her take one of his original paintings to complete her display. 
This month for the first time, I participated in the Foodie Pen Pal program. On Thursday, my first package arrived in the mail. It was a very exciting experience for all of us. 
Friday was rehearsal for our annual dance recital. I love my little bunheads 🙂
